Flower Arranging

Flower arranging is common around Juniper Village.  Wellness Director, Carol Perrin takes a moment to enjoy the donated flowers and lead some ladies in a quick demonstration of flower arranging.  Carol perfects the "Art of Caring" as she Nurtures the Spirit of Life in each of our Residents!

Fwd: Art show

Keith Reynolds

February welcomed Art month in style!  Several local artists brought in work for display and for sale.  Leslie Blake, Keith Reynolds, Bob Slevin, Sandy's Art Works, Donny Alabram, Reverend Ellen Rezek and her Wesbury Group, Nick Cheropovich (resident), and a posthumous showing of artwork by Ralph Byham.  We would like to thank all of the artists and their participation in this years art show.  An artist reception was held on Friday evening which included an array of cheeses and wine for enjoyment!  We look forward to seeing you again next February.  Don't hesitate to contact us next January, should you want to participate in our annual show.  You still have time to start on a special art project to display! In the meantime, stay connected with the Meadville Market House, as their new art display is in the works for local artists!

Performance month graces it's way in tomorrow, and with that comes our annual Night at the Oscars on March 8th at 5:30pm, John Kerr playing his musical saw on March 13 at 2:30pm, and a  family friendly St. Patty's Pub Party on March 16 at 2pm.  Please call 333.4400 for more details and ask for Pam.

More Dancing!

Zumba Gold continues to be a hit!  Dorris Kline enjoys a moving program this week...folks are starting to look forward to the lively music and dancing.  Adding exciting new programming is part of our focus in our Alive in All Seasons Connections Activities program.  Perhaps Louis L'Amour said it best..."There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.  That will be the beginning."  We believe in Nurturing the Spirit of Life throughout all Seasons, and at Juniper, we celebrate New Beginnings!

Happy Valentine's Day

Our Annual Valentine's Day Event was extra special with the crowning of not only our King and Queen and of our Prince and Princess.  The winners were treated like royalty...adorned with sashes and crowns by our very own Administrator, Jennifer Musone!  Sharlene Peterson and Paul Marsh were crowned Queen and King.  June and Harry Crabtree were crowned Princess and Prince.  Meet our Royal Court and some of their Royal family! 

 

Kick up your heels!

Margarite inspired a few of our associates this week to kick up their heels and strike a pose in the living room at Juniper Village at Meadville! We talk a lot about Nurturing the Spirit of Life in each individual...what folks outside our Juniper Family may not realize is, our Residents Nurture our Spirits daily as well. We find joy in those little things that keep our reasons we choose to work at Juniper in
the forefronts of our mind. We are fortunate to be touched by our Resident's joy and happiness. If you would like to inquire about our Community programs and events, please call us at 333.4400.

Jazz at Juniper!

Residents and Guests gathered for Jazz music accompanied by the smooth sounds of our very own Donald F. Breneman's guitar.  Don can be found accompanying in clubs in Pittsburgh when not offering his talents to his friends at Juniper Village.  Associates at Juniper often enjoy sharing talents and staying connected to our communities.  Don is our Regional Director of Operations, however, last Friday, he was our guest musician in celebration of Music month!  We welcome musical talents in our community.  Please call Pam at 333.4400 to inquire about volunteering your musical talents!  A special thank you to Don for exploring creative expression and celebrating Music month with us!

Juniper Village at Meadville Drumming!

Click the following link to see us in action!

You Tube Video!

The sounds of methodical drumming resonated through the community last week when Cootie Harris presented on the therapeutic qualities of drumming! Residents and community members gathered for the program, which evolved into a full drumming circle. A Conga line even erupted as residents felt the groove. Cootie has provided our Residents with Tai Chi demonstrations in the past and when we thanked him for this program, he said "I am the one having fun," and he thanked us! Cootie
really enjoys giving back to the community and we look forward to seeing him again. The Conga drum that was being offered to a winner, was donated back to the Residents by the community members. They felt the drum belonged in the Juniper Family. Join us as we continue celebrating music month on January 27th from 4-6pm. We are hosting Guitar Jazz music by Donald F. Breneman and a wine tasting.
